phenomena & discovered fundamentalequations for EM fields

Time-Domain Maxwell’s Equations
l Fields and sources are functions of time t and space x = (x,y,z) [Cartesian] or x = (r,θ,φ) [spherical]
l Current density j and charge density ρ are the sourcesl Electric and magnetic fields are connectedl Boldface denotes vectors
∇ × e(t) = −∂b(t)
∂t∇ •d(t ) = ρ(t )
∇ × h(t) = j(t ) +∂d(t)
∂t∇ • b(t) = 0
where
e,d,b,h, are EM fields
j,ρ are sources

Frequency-Domain Maxwell’s Equations
l The upper case fields are the F.T. of the lower case fieldsl Harmonic waves vary as exp( –jωt) [monochromatic]l Differentiation in the time domain becomes multiplication
by [–jωt] in the frequency domain

Wave and Helmholtz Equations
l Plane waves [e.g., exp( jkz)] and spherically waves [e.g., (1/r)exp( jkr)] are solutions to the Helmholtzequation for exp(–jωt) excitation
l These are vector equations and contain polarization information
Take curl of ∇ × e(x,t ) or ∇ ×h(x,t ) equations to
find wave equation for the source- free case:
∇2 − 1c2
∂2
∂t2
e(x,t )
h(x,t )
= 0
Take curl of ∇ ×E(x,ω) or ∇ ×H(x,ω) equations to
find Helmholtz equation for the source- free case:

H(x,ω)
= 0
Here v =1 / µε and k = ω / v
©2000, D. L. Jaggard 15EE 511EE 511
Scalarizing Helmholtz Equation
l One can neglect vector nature of EM fields in certain approximations:
l Very high frequency (e.g., large aperture and observer far from aperture
l Not interested in polarization effects
l Consider scalar form of Helmholtz equation where U is a scalar component (“optical field”) of one of the fields E or H
l Consider monochromatic case and suppress time -harmonic variation exp(–jωt)
©2000, D. L. Jaggard 16EE 511EE 511
Scalar Helmholtz Equation
l Need to find solution for optical field Ul Will use Green’s function approachl Note: λ is wavelength in the mediuml λ = λ0/nl For diffraction, usually n = 1
∇2 + k2[ ]U(x) = 0
Here the wavenumber is k = ω / v = 2π / λ

C. Green’s Functionl Green’s function G( x,x’) is similar
to impulse response (except Green’s function already has the shift included)
l Physically:
Green’s function [G( x,x’)] is the response of a system at x due to
a point source [ δ(x–x’)] at x’
©2000, D. L. Jaggard 19EE 511EE 511
More Green’s Functionl G(x,x’) allows fields to be written in
terms of integrals over sources f(x’) (if any) and values of fields on the surface
l For source-free fields, the optical field U(x) in a volume is uniquely found as a function of its value on the surface
l Reciprocity: G(x,x’) = G(x’,x)

frequencies)

l This is the starting point for Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction
l This is a mathematical description of Huygen’s principle of secondary sources
Diffracted field is sum ofspherical waves weighted by
value in aperture [i.e, Huygen’s principle]
Constants conserve energyand provide correct units
while “j” provides phase shiftassociated with diffraction

G. Babinet’s Principlel Consider a diffracting screen S A and its
complement SB [two screens are complementaryif the opening in one corresponds to the opaque region of the other and vice versa]
l Let S0= SA+ SB [S0 could be the z = 0 plane]l Fields (from scalar diffraction theory):
l With no screen, the diffracted field is Ul With screen SA the field is U Α (integrate over opening)l With screen SB the field is U Β (integrate over opening)
l Result:
U = U Α+ U Β
Babinet’s Principle relatesdiffraction by a screen andits complement using scalar
diffraction theory sinceEach field is found by
integration over the aperture

Two Babinet Conclusionsl If UΑ = 0 –> UΒ = Ul At points in which the intensity is zero in
the presence of one of the screens, the intensity in the presence of the other is the same as if no screen was present
l If U = 0 –> UΑ = –UΒ
l At points where U = 0, the magnitudes of UΑ and UΒ are equal and their phases are opposite –> IA = IB (e.g., case of lens in previous slide)

Babinet’s Statement
Two complementary screens produce the same illumination
(intensity) at all points in space not illuminated in their
absence

Produces perfect“Talbot images” or “self -images”
Produces contrast reversed“Talbot images” or “self -images”
Produces lower contrast“Talbot sub-images” with
twice the spatial frequency
